Professor Michael Douek is professional and clear. He explains well to patients, who feel safe and reassured by his skill. Some patients note appointment delays or long waits. He treats breast cancer, including mastectomy and axillary clearance.
I was reassured and felt very informed. He had a kind tone and I was very grateful for his cinsidrrate and speedy response. Mine was good news but the wait is always the worst part so having a speedy response was really appreciated. A huge Thank you to Prof Douek as on top of this my healing has been pain free. I said I was lucky but it more likely skill. Thankyou
Very professional, warm and compassionate. Gave the right amount of information, confirmed I had understood and checked to see if I had any questions.
Felt at ease. Explained what the situation was and how to proceed- reassured
Everything is explained to me fully so I can understand the treatment and what happens next. I have never felt rushed in and out and feel I am in very safe hands while going through what is a very scary experience.
Professor Douek was superb. I can’t fault any aspect of his care.
Tremendous. Exceptional care, expertise and encouragement
You feel that you are getting the very best medical care and guidance.
Telephone appointment was late but the doctor apologised in a professional manner and had time for my questions and didn't rush me through it.
Had a phone call with professor Douek. Explained everything well.
I came away from this visit feeling confident that I was in good hands and would be well taken care of both by nurse Jo and Dr Douek. Dr Michael came across clearly and with empathy and answered my questions in a way I understood what to expect. It's never easy receiving a cancer diagnosis but having Dr Michael as my consultant and surgeon made it feel much less scary.
